Chords with lyrics

B minorBm
Hold your fire
      D MajorD      E MajorE      B minorBm
I'm coming out and I'll tell you the truth
   D MajorD     E MajorE    B minorBm
I was trying to raise my roof
    A augmentedA
Did you see it
    G+G   A augmentedA B minorBm
That I needed to prove
    D MajorD    E MajorE   B minorBm
That my stinger always stays
        D MajorD     E MajorE    B minorBm
You said she's beautiful when she plays
   D MajorD       E MajorE   A augmentedA
Did I hit you in the proper place
A augmentedA
  Suddenly

G+G     A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
I, oh well I could live in this town
   G+G
Five cold years before I
  A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Yes I could live in this town
G+G
Before I head for home

B minorBm D MajorD E MajorE (2x)

Verse 2
    B minorBm
It's my turn
     D MajorD     E MajorE     B minorBm
With the spotlight burning a hole
    D MajorD      E MajorE    B minorBm
But my bird-heart's turning cold
    A augmentedA      G+G   A augmentedA  B minorBm
As the temperature rises all around
    D MajorD     E MajorE    B minorBm
To the sound of a ticking bomb
       D MajorD    E MajorE      B minorBm
And then it's not just showing off here
     D MajorD    E MajorE        A augmentedA
You know there's something going on here
   A augmentedA
Going on here

Suddenly

G+G     A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
I, oh well I could live in this town
   G+G
Five cold years before I
  A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Yes I could live in this town
G+G
Five cold years
  A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Yes I could live in this town
   G+G
Five cold years before I
   A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Well I could live in this town
G+G
Before I head for home

Bridge
(mute)
And considered it odd
      B minorBm
That I ever stayed
   A augmentedA
ever stayed
      B minorBm
That I ever stayed
   A augmentedA
ever stayed
      B minorBm
That I ever stayed
   A augmentedA
ever stayed
      B minorBm
That I ever stayed
   A augmentedA
ever stayed
       B minorBm
You know that feeling you get
     E MajorE       D MajorD
when you don't want to leave
   B minorBm
That feeling you get
     E MajorE       D MajorD
when you don't want to leave
   B minorBm
That feeling when you don't want to leave
B minorBm
  Suddenly

G+G     A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
I, oh well I could live in this town
   G+G
Five cold years before I
  A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Yes I could live in this town
G+G
Five cold years
  A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Yes I could live in this town
   G+G
Five cold years before I
   A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Well I could live in this town
